The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/spotify/playlist/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/playlist/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Spotify doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts The playlist: its link (open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M, also under /intl-de/ and /embed/, the old /user/\/playlist/… form, with any share parameters), a share link (spotify.link/…), its URI (spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1DXcBWIGoYBM5M, or the old spotify:user:\:playlist:…) or its 22-character ID. - ### Write one parser Spotify, TikTok, Instagram and 3 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, facebook, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native playlist ID (string): TikTok's playlist (mix) or collection ID, YouTube's list ID (PL…), Facebook's video list ID. - **`url`string**: Canonical playlist URL. - **`type`string**: playlist: a list its owner curates and orders (TikTok playlists, YouTube playlists, Facebook playlists and series); collection: posts an account saved from any creator into a named public folder (TikTok collections). New values may be added; treat unknown values as playlist. - **`platform_type`string**: The platform's own label, lowercase (mix, collection, playlist, series, podcast, …). - **`title`string**: Name its owner gave it. - **`description`string**: Description as plain text; null when it has none or the platform shows none (TikTok). - **`owner`object**: The account that curates it (for a collection, the account that saved the posts, not their authors). Where a platform's curators are not accounts (Apple Music), what it states of them: a name, perhaps a page and a picture, with id and username null, and every field null when it names no one.

It is still a real playlist, with its ID, link and owner. - metrics.post_count counts every item on the playlist, as Spotify does, tracks or not. - platform_type is playlist, or Spotify's own name for it when it has one: chart, discover-weekly, daily-mix, artistsets. - platform_specific.spotify.created_at is null on Spotify's own playlists, which don't state it, and is_algorithmic is null where Spotify says neither. - A playlist its owner deleted still answers, with is_deleted_by_owner true, because Spotify keeps serving it. - When Spotify's main API fails, the answer comes from its playlist API without the follower count, the owner's name or avatar, or a mosaic cover: those are null. ## 1 credit per request.
